I'm Back!

Well it was more like three weeks but I had a blast. It was really nice to meet so many Cosmic Hearse supporters face to face. You all are too sweet, really. Besides meeting so many cool folks and camping under big skies with my brothers and sisters in Ludicra, the highlight of the journey was seeing and hanging with the amazing Columbus, Ohio metal band Deadsea. Their insane mathy Atheist meets Mercyful Fate meets Venom trip fucking blew my mind. Bassist, Alex, said it would be totally cool if I posted their CD here, in fact he seemed really excited to have you all check it out. Deadsea may be the best metal band in the USA that you have never heard of. You decide. It's good to be back.

Nice one. The Atheist reference scared me a little bit, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Funny though Metal Archives classifies them as Melodic Doom/Death Metal and their lyrical themes as political. I fail to see both. Very good music.

I missed meeting you in Columbus because my band was playing Voice of the Valley down in West Virginia, but I agree Deadsea is a great gem from this city. Some other killer Columbus metal right now is Locusta and Nukkehammer (the latter being a bit more on the punk side as well.) Check them out dude, catch you next time.

I am from Columbus and have had the incredible pleasure of watching the almighty DEADSEA melt faces for years now. Their live performance is true spectacle to behold. It's too bad they don't tour more. Easily one of the best bands in the U.S. and all around genuinely awesome dudes. Was so fuckin psyched to see this posted on here, and see these guys getting much deserved attention.

Aside from Nukkehammer and Teeth of the Hydra, another incredible Columbus band that is surely going to turn heads shortly is Struck by Lightning. Their new record "Serpents" drops next week. I could not be more pumped for that.

Yeah, if you like this Deadsea album definitely check out Desiderata. It's near perfect! And investigate Teeth Of The Hydra and Black Dove as well. Columbus has an amazingly diverse and supportive metal scene!

got to see Deadsea and Teeth of the Hydra years ago in Athens, and they continue to impress! sweet fellas, too. glad to see them getting some props.

What it's about.

It's about sharing hard to find and special recordings. It's not about taking anything away from the artists themselves. Of course if something is in print and you like it, buy it. If you have legitimate claim to something posted here and want it removed, just write me and I'll do so. It's definitely not about furthering any sort of political agenda, you might find some things here that you don't agree with. The views of the bands are their own and don't necessarily reflect my ideology or political views. Of course comments and suggestions are welcomed, but don't be hurt if they aren't responded to or taken. I will do my absolute best to be accomidating. Want to contact me? Do it here:
